Contractor cited in collapse during parking garage pour

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has proposed $38,000 in fines for Cleveland Cement Contractors Inc. following an investigation into the partial collapse of a downtown Cleveland casino's parking garage. The agency identified six serious safety violations in the December 2011 incident, which occurred during concrete placement on the second level, and resulted in crews suffering sprains and strains.

Cleveland Cement was given 15 business days from receipt of its citations and proposed penalties to comply, meet with OSHA's area director or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
